GENETIC ENGINEERING

Abstract

Genetic engineering stands at the forefront of modern science, offering transformative potential across medicine, agriculture, environmental management, and beyond. This course is designed to introduce students to the principles, techniques, and the main applications through the modification of genetic material. As we explore the fundamental concepts of DNA, gene expression and DNA modification, we also delve into real-world applications—from the development of gene therapies to the creation of genetically modified organisms that promise enhanced crop yields and disease resistance. Throughout this course, critical analysis and hands-on learning will encourage students to understand not only the scientific mechanisms but also the broader implications of genetic manipulation. The aim is to cultivate a deep understanding of theoretical insights and practical examples, this course invites you to explore how genetic engineering is reshaping our world and to consider how you might help guide its future development. Welcome to a journey into the remarkable world of genetic engineering—where curiosity meets innovation and new technologies that drive sustainable scientific progress.
